And welcome back for another easy Maori art activity. Today we will be making a fun Wheku mask. A Wheku is a carved head of an important ancestor (tipuna) that you see at the top of a meeting houses (wharenui). This wheku mask has a tiki head. Let's get started!
What you need:
Cardboard Cereal Box
Scissors
Black Vivid
Pencil
Tape
Ice Block Stick
Ice Block Stick
Flatten out the cereal box then draw out a wheku designs. You can also use and eraser to rub out any unwanted marks.
When you're satisfied with your final pencil drawing, go over the pencil lines with a black vivid.
Then when you finish doing that you cut around the outside of the wheku mask,and also the inside area of the eyes.
Finally tape the ice block stick on the back with tape as a handle to hold your mask up to your face.
What I thought about this project that it turned out fantastic.Because wheku carvings are cool on walls an that i could use this for halloween!
